I woke up at 1 in the morning with severe abdominal pain. It only got worse as the night went until I curled my legs in holding my stomach and slept a little. It’s 7 now and the pain isn’t nearly as bad except when I get up to move around I can feel it a little. It almost felt like I was punched in the stomach and the pain radiated forever and just didn’t seem to go away with any position I made. I also went to the bathroom and my pee was a light yellow but It didn’t burn to pee. I also made a bowel movement and it was very dark and tarry. What could this be?

Today was supposed to be my 5th day in Ketosis. Could that have something to do with it? My diet consists of Boca burgers, eggs, peanut butter, cheese, cashews, protein shakes, and 5-8 glasses water. I also take a vitamin D3, B12, and a multivitamin.

Please help. Was it a Kidney stone even though I didn’t feel any pain peeing?

My friend has an outside lab that hasn’t been eating for the past two days and is taking in very little water. She’s planning on giving him a boost of B12, which will hopefully help his appetite, and I recommended that she smear some peanut butter on his gums for protein and hopefully it’ll encourage him to drink more. He hasn’t passed anything through his system and doesn’t act sore – his temperature is at a low 99. She says the only thing off is his diet and the fact that when he urinates, it comes out in short bursts, making us think there could be something wrong with his kidneys or urinary tract. We’ve ruled out any tract infection, which would cause him to have a temperature, so I wonder if it’s possible for male dogs to pass kidney stones, or if maybe there could be some prostate swelling.

Or anything else. Ideas, please, on how to get him in better health.
First off, don’t tell us that we need to take him to the vet or how he should be supervised. The dog has been in a closed off area of 3 acres for all his life and it’s almost certain that he hasn’t been into something, as it’s THEIR BACKYARD. Human medication, you say? Well I didn’t ask if B12 was okay to give, BECAUSE I ALREADY KNOW IT IS.

A urinary tract infection, or ANY infection, is indication of a fever. He isn’t running one. THAT’S how we know. I hate using this community for answers and only do so in emergencies because you people are ass holes and are extremely repetitive.

Not everyone has the money to run their dog to the vet over every little thing, especially when things are like they are for the economy. Some things have to be put before others in times like this, and a dog isn’t one of the main priorities, especially if there’s hope that it can be fixed at home.

So any advice that isn’t the OBVIOUS, please.

I’m a kidney stone producing machine and just found out what triggers the deficiency on citric acids and overproduction of calcium in my body.
Urologist prescribed a high blood pressure drug called Hydrochlorothiazide (I have low blood pressure) to reduce the production of calcium and a citric acid supplement I’m really not sure as if I should take this. I have to inject myself with B12 on a monthly basis which I need because I can’t produce it anymore myself and found out that this reduces the citric level. Then I came across Hypothyroidism and wonder if that is the reason for the high calcium production? Does anyone have suggestions on how I should approach the treatment or know about natural ways to get this in control? I do a low oxalate diet and avoid foods triggering my symptoms.
